  • Buy Impact Screen Fabric Directly from Mill

    As a cost sensitive person attempting to build a high quality simulator, I realized purchasing the correct impact screen is critical to both the simulator's overall performance and it's price tag. It should be affordable, durable, seamless, impact resistant, have minimal bounce back, low noise, and display HD quality images.

    West Coast Netting, Par2Pro, Foresight, Carl's Place and others listed in various forum threads all sell screens but none actually manufacture them. Buying second hand increases cost and my goal to buy the highest quality materials at the best possible price can only be accomplished by purchasing direct from the mill that manufacturers the fabric.

    After plenty of research I found the mill that's manufacturing the impact screen fabric for Foresight, Carl's Place and others. The mills highest quality impact screen fabric is a heavyweight knit polyester sold only in 120 inch x 40 yard rolls. The raw material costs $56/yard without shipping.

    40 yards is clearly too much material for my simulator so I'm looking to get a group of us on the forum to split a roll.

    Please advise any interest or questions.

  • Shipping label sent via email....thanks.

        • Here’s the glue I used. It holds strong and dried really fast. Impressed.

          • Here’s a few pictures of my finished product. By finished, I mean probably done for the next month or so when I dream up something else to add. 😀

                    • dbgolf72 any idea when you will ship out for those that have sent labels recently?

                      Comment


                      • They should be gone by tomorrow. FedEx still hadn't picked up like 5-6 but I think they will come tomorrow

                          Stupid tracking system, never showed it being picked up and didn't get an email. Just now got an email that it was delivered. Thanks again. I will now compare it to the first gen.

                      • I did have a question on what the best method for removing a couple creases from them being boxed up tightly? I thought they’d kinda come
                        out after a couple days up but with it being such thick material, almost like foam, it seems the creases are staying. I’m sure once everyone gets them up, there will be some methods uncovered.

                          There was someone else a while back mentioned he used his wifes clothes steamer and it took the creases out right away.
